Description
Males grow to 23.6 mm (0.93 in) and females 30.5 mm (1.20 in) in snout–vent length. The habitus is slender. The dorsum is black, apart from a brown interscapular spot and brown reticulum. The flanks are also black apart from two brown spots. There is a small cream-colored spot below the eye.
Range & habitat
The species inhabits closed-canopy hill dipterocarp forests. It is associated with streams where animals have been found in vegetation overhanging the stream bed (≤2 m above the ground) or on the tops of large rocks along the edge of the stream. Habitat loss caused by logging and agricultural expansion is likely a threat to this species.
